Why does everyone freak out about early Christmas stuff?   Who cares when it's displayed?  Nobody freaks when they see a garden sprinkler display in February.

 

Sometimes I sing Frosty the Snowman for karaoke, and it's a hit any time of the year, but gets the best audience reaction in summer.

Christmas displays in the Summer are as wrong as karaoke at any time of the year

Halloween Store gong in next to the Wave on Yates

Not sure if serious. Hope to never find out.

A business named Eclipse will be moving into the vacant space in 601 Herald, at Government. Perhaps it's Eclipse Creative.

No kidding

[amor de cosmos]

The days of umbrella-filled cocktails may be long gone, but the owner of what once was Vancouver’s fabled Trader Vic’s restaurant believes there is life in the old building yet.

David Whiffin — who brought the Trader Vic’s building to his 25-acre waterfront property off Mount Newton Cross Road in Central Saanich in the summer of 1999 from its moorings at the Bayshore Hotel in Vancouver — has visions of turning the former Polynesian-style restaurant into a farmer’s market for local produce and wines.

But to do that, Whiffin knows he has a long road to travel, with approvals to be gained and a renovation required for the building itself.

On the renovation front, there has at least been a start.

Whiffin’s friend Derek Locke, who has been working on the property, has started a Kickstarter campaign to raise $450,000 to breathe some life into the building. The campaign launched Aug. 15 and thus far has only garnered $1 in pledges.

Turns out it is EC.

 

Anyone mention here that Yo! Video closed?

 

This pic-a-flic blog says so.

It looks like Mysi in LoJo has closed down. The space is for rent.

 

[Hotel Mike]

Is Mysi in Uptown as well?

[D.L.]

They are right beside the4 Cactus Club!

Wonder how the sound insulation is with the store being empty.

Prospective tennants may mistake the noises for a haunting of sorts

[29er Radio]

they were in mayfair for awhile but I haven't seen them at uptown

The paper has come off the windows at Orange Theory Fitness on Yates St and it looks like it is days away from opening. I predict they won't last a year. It seems rather gimmicky.

Dowler Grocery.  Not looking too good.  The place is still full of junk, the slurpee machine, microwave.  Hard to see what else.  The broken window is a nice touch.  Looks like the upstairs has tenants.
